Lately, I’ve been following with interest the discussions on coding and how it can help our learners to develop new competencies, critical thinking, collaboration, and, mainly, a culture of trial and error in which failure is seen as a step towards success. I really wish my kids’ school had this vision…However, it doesn’t seem that most Brazilian schools will be transitioning to a more maker-oriented learning environment soon. A pity as they will be taken the opportunity of self-discovery, a programming mind where logic is key and re-considering possibilities is key.
Anyhow, my treasure for the week is Edsurge’s wonderful coding resources aggregated in a very substantial list of potential tools to help our students open up for a new world of doing.
Enjoy!
